We are looking for a Senior Research Fellow (SRF) who will develop, optimise, and validate wireless power transfer (WPT) systems for electric vehicle charging roadway applications. The SRF will contribute to Double-D coil-based WPT system design, electromagnetic simulation, magnetic coupling enhancement, electromagnetic shielding evaluation, and laboratory validation in a multidisciplinary research project involving civil and electrical engineering.

Key Responsibilities:

• Developing and optimising Double-D coil-based WPT systems

• Simulating WPT efficiency, electromagnetic field distribution, impedance matching, and misalignment tolerance using electromagnetic simulation tools.

• Designing and evaluating surfaces and/or dielectric matching layers to improve magnetic coupling

• Evaluating electromagnetic shielding performance and electromagnetic field safety compliance

• Developing laboratory measurement setups to validate WPT efficiency, shielding effectiveness, lateral misalignment tolerance, and system robustness.

• Analysing simulation and experimental results, preparing technical reports, publishing research findings, and supporting project milestones.

• Working closely with PhD/MSc students, undergraduate students, and collaborators from civil and electrical engineering disciplines.

Job Requirements:

• PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Applied Electromagnetics, Power Electronics, Wireless Power Transfer, or closely related fields.

• More than 5 years of research experience in wireless power transfer, electromagnetic compatibility/interference, electromagnetic shielding, antenna/coil design, or related areas.

• Experience in electromagnetic simulation tools

• Experience in WPT coil design, resonant inductive coupling, impedance matching, magnetic-field analysis, and efficiency optimisation.

• Experience with laboratory measurements for WPT, electromagnetic shielding, or RF/low-frequency electromagnetic systems.

• Good publication record in relevant research areas.

• Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, C/C++, or equivalent tools for simulation, data analysis, and automation.

• Good written and oral communication skills, with the ability to work in a multidisciplinary research team.
